Synopsis

Michael needs a change in his life. When he is told about a clinical trial for a new antidepressant, he signs up on a whim. It soon becomes apparent that the pills have serious side effects, and the tests are abandoned.

Slowly, his minor psychological games grow more drastic, until he makes a discovery which forces him to view his actions in a new terrifying light.
